Subject: [PATCH v2] myri10ge: remove an unneeded NULL check

The define of skb_list_walk_safe(first, skb, next_skb) is:
  for ((skb) = (first), (next_skb) = (skb) ? (skb)->next : NULL; (skb);  \
     (skb) = (next_skb), (next_skb) = (skb) ? (skb)->next : NULL)

Thus, if the 'segs' passed as 'first' into the skb_list_walk_safe is NULL,
the loop will exit immediately. In other words, it can be sure the 'segs'
is non-NULL when we run inside the loop. So just remove the unnecessary
NULL check. Also remove the unneeded assignmnets.
